I can't find anywhere that tells me I can do a gender change in PA in person. It's all telling me I have to mail it in with the original documentation. I'm not too fond of having to give up my original!

I did misread the state. I've never heard of New Castle PA and there's a New Castle DE about 10 minutes from me.

I guess I can try using what you found. I actually can't find any information on the PA gov website about gender change, but for name change it says the following, which is what I was basing needing the original on:

If an individual has obtained a court order changing his/her name, submit a certified copy of the court order bearing the raised seal of the court and signature of the judge. A photocopy or facsimile copy of a court order is not acceptable.

Yeah that is for name change. Gender marker you just need a DRs letter. The second link has a sample letter you can have your DR use
